Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was mainly looking for the audio capabilities in this unit combined with the massive framework and weight that gives it stability. I've been using Sony Blu-ray players for several years now in order to play SACDs, DVD-Audio and Blu-ray audio discs in surround sound. The units were so lightweight that they slid when I just tried to push in the disc tray. This new unit plays all the audio formats that I need from it, and it's like a rock--it doesn't budge while I'm closing the tray, and I'm sure that also translates into less vibration during playback. The 4k is just a bonus for me, but since I've got it now, I went ahead and bought four discs. They do look great and Blu-ray discs also look great on it.

Plays Everything I threw at it. Excellent picture even on the older HD Plasma I have. Easy to set up and use. I use a universal remote which works great on the BD player.

I bought this player mainly because I have a high end audio system and want the ability to play SACD, DVD Audio and other hi-res audio formats. It is setup in a two channel system connected to a stand-alone digital to analog converter and a Vizio P-series 65 inch UHD TV. The functionality of this player is outstanding. It loads quickly. SACD, DVD Audio, Blu-Ray audio and good old Redbook CD play seamlessly with no need to toggle into settings when you change formats. The on-screen menu allows for reasonably quick adjustment of both audio and video settings. The need for manual switching for Dolby Vision is a hassle, but since I am primarily interested in audio, I don't mind. My one complaint is it lacks a 12V trigger, but this feature is not available on most other players in this price range. My main entertainment center is a 5.1 system and I am strongly considering this player for it.

So far so good. Excellent picture and sound quality for HD and 4K discs. Very quiet during playing. Disc tray is very quiet as well. Seems very well made. I truly hope I won't encounter freezing issues as other reviewers did. I have other means for streaming so I don't use the built-in streaming apps so I have no ideas how good they are. Playing 4K contents from a jump drive is also very snappy with excellent result both graphically and sonically. I have a ton of 4K HDR 10/Dolby Vision/Atmos content on jump drive to test, and it's been excellent so far. As for CD playback, especially SACD playback, if you have a good DAC to connect via coax, this should be a big plus. Not many 4K players support SACD.

I bought this Sony 4K Blu-ray player to pair with my Samsung 65 in 4K tv and couldn't be more pleased! Great quality, features and ease to setup and use. Great player for the price and works great with my TV

I've had this player for a few months. The picture is amazing. It has all the features I wanted (SACD, Dolby Vision, HiRes audio), super quiet, and came with a couple of movies. Leagues better than my previous Blu-Ray player.

I play CDs on it and they have amazing fidelity. Plus it can play various forms of HI Fi music. Results in very clear, like in in the group, in my living room clear. Item was easy to set up and connect with my wifi.

When you view a 4K disc, you have the ultimate treat in picture quality definition. There is nothing that compares to the crystal clear spectrum of colors and pinpoint details that come alive like no other format. Blue Ray is good but second best compared to 4K. And the SONY 4K player is a top of the line 4K player as one would expect from a quality mfgr. Controls & remote are intuitive; straightforward and easy to use; no learning curve required. The discs load quickly w/o delay and picture quality is second to none. Although one could pay a great deal more for a 4K player, it is doubtful it could surpass the build quality, picture display, and dollar value of the Sony UBP X800 M2. Hours of research and reading "reviews" of all the 4K offerings boiled down to choosing the SONY.

This BluRay player is easy to use and works great. The color is spectacular and the sound outstanding.

This is the second on of these Sony Blu-ray player we now have in our home. The quality and ease of using makes them perfect for use by our grandsons.

Overall a good 4K HD blu ray player. It also comes with streaming from a few apps like Netflix. Trying to add You tube TV but may not be able to. Need more time and effort to make a final call on making this a 5 star rating

Perfect for HiRes Audio. Purchased since it will play SACD and DVD-Audio disks (older formats) for multi-channel surround sound music. Audio sounds fantastic and this device can play multi-channel and hi-res audio in almost any format. Have been enjoying playing Bluray Audio and older DVD-Audio discs. I do not use this player to play movies or videos. Only negative so far is that the remote is not the greatest. For the intended use (only audio) it is a bit expensive. But for SACD and DVD-Audio the alternatives are limited. For playing audio, works perfectly and sounds incredible.

4K Blu-ray players will probably be as far as physical media will go. As convenient as streaming can be, this is the best possible experience you can get watching movies with a home theater system. It supports all the latest visual technology, including Dolby Vision. The player is well built and sturdy. Has a nice heft to it that makes it feel premium. To get the most out of it, make sure you have it connected to a well deserved TV that supports HDR.

Great. Our family loves it. We made a great decision on our purchase. Highly recommend

Decided to "upgrade" from a PS3 that had stopped playing Blu-Ray's. This does everything I need it to but feels "cramped" compared to my PS3. As far as I can tell you can only have the pre-installed Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YouTube apps on the device. No Hulu, HBO, Showtime, or other streaming services are available. My other nit is that there's no way to not output audio via HDMI. I have an older stereo that doesn't handle HDMI so I have to use the digital coaxial out to the stereo but the TV still gets audio and the two are out of sync just enough to make it feel like an echo. I haven't tried 4k yet (TV is only 1080p) so I can't offer an educated opinion. Oh, I also miss my PS3's Bluetooth remote. The included remote works when you point it towards it, but if there's something in the way in can take moving the remote or object out of the way before you can use it again.

This newer model replaced , my older ubp x800 which had alot of issues , Sony added Dolby Vision on this model & fixed several issues , I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice 4K Bluray player .

Excellent Device. The quality of sound and video; and it is easy to set up and connect to many other devices in different brand. the structure of the body this player is so good. it run quietly.

This looks great and performs great. I've had an LG which was terrible and didn't display 4k videos that great. This is a huge improvement and works flawlessly with my Sony tv

Solidly built component that plays the majority of dvd/cd formats. As noted by others, it would be nice to have a small digital screen while playing audio cds so you don’t need to turn on the tv. For me, I’m not sure the next level of players is worth the return on investment especially with this model being a third of the price. Not knocking the quality of other players only that Sony has this model at a fair price point for the options it comes with.

Great 4K upgrade from Blu-ray. It was a bit pricey but forth the money when paired with a 4K TV. The features are great and easy to follow. The audio options are fantastic and user friendly.
